Any other symptoms?: White pale stool may reflect a significant biliary obstruction or profound liver disease (often with accompanying jaundice). Or the white may be just a coating of mucus (a colon lubricant) which when present in large volume may signal problems with colon spasm (ie. Irritable bowel syndrome), partial obstruction, infection, and even sloughed colon lining due to a variety of diseases. Get checked.

White Stools: indicate lack of pigment (of which BILE (made from liver and stored in gallbladder ) is the major component. This is often due to a BLOCK in the bile transfer and REQUIRES PROMPT MEDICAL EVALUATION! Call your SURGEON ASAP !!!! Hope this is helpful! A weekend call is necessary (or a trip to ER) Good Luck Dr Z
